Closing • The use of data standards can help alleviate the data management burden --> Improved Quality – GRID allows for unambiguous identification of donors – CDEs provide a shared vocabulary for our industry – BRIDG can provide our context / semantics • Can be used to inform and develop BMT systems – HL7 FHIR can provide integration with other health systems • There is public and private support for HL7 FHIR as an integration strategy, including EMRs • Structured data is easier to share and manage than unstructured data – EMRs are helping to structure clinical data 2

Closing • AGNIS provides electronic exchange, but must go further to: – Lower the barrier to adoption – Minimize turbulence • Embracing BRIDG and HL7 FHIR could better enable integration with EMRs or laboratory systems – HLA, Infectious Disease Markers, Cytogenetics, GVHD, etc. • We’re eager to work with the transplant community to: – Discuss improvements to our (collective) integration ecosystem – Further explore the potential of BRIDG / HL7 FHIR 3

Closing • Thank you to our speakers, and thank you audience! • Reminder that we invite you to stay after for follow-up discussions: – We’d like the opportunity to answer questions, network and gain perspective from centers, vendors, IT enthusiasts, etc. • Goals in the next year: – Increase collaboration with the ASBMT Informatics Committee, the data standards community, and IT enthusiasts within the HCT community – Consider and respond to themes identified during today’s session 4
